Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition 1 is reasonable and necessary to ensure that the development does not unacceptably harm the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular reference to noise and disturbance
  • Whether the disputed condition 2 is reasonable and necessary to ensure that the development does not harm the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The regularity, level and consistent tone of noise from yard activity (forklift trucks, deliveries) would be more disturbing to residents at weekends than weekday noise, making Saturday hour restrictions and Sunday closure reasonable and necessary to provide a meaningful weekly break.
